it's not as accurate for precision cuts as a non slider. the blade and

a sled and use the TS for accurate cross-cuts. Like to within .005 or
better.



my makita is as accurate as you are going to get with a good blade. I don't find
the saw flexing at all. it blew away my delta chopsaws for accuracy and they
were not sliders.
